Everyday Gods
While out seeing the ruins on a hotel excursion
She smiled at a stranger and whispered to him
The people who lived here they were so much wiser
They had their gods for just everyday things
No fear of desire, no tragic messiah, no concept unhappy as sin
And time as it passes shows all that can last
Is the sense of how fast things are slipping away
Everything that you think, every song that you sing
Everyone that you're glad that you met on the way
And, as a consequence
I've started to reverence the gods of just every day
The hillside is sunny but the carpark's empty
It seems there won't be any tourists today
Forgive me indulging my need to keep speaking
I just feel that somehow someone ought to say
We've dug up the ruins, and buried the lovers
And angered the gods of the everyday
She smiled at a stranger and whispered to him
The people who lived here they were so much wiser
They had their gods for just everyday things
No fear of desire, no tragic messiah, no concept unhappy as sin
And time as it passes shows all that can last
Is the sense of how fast things are slipping away
Everything that you think, every song that you sing
Everyone that you're glad that you met on the way
And, as a consequence
I've started to reverence the gods of just every day
The hillside is sunny but the carpark's empty
It seems there won't be any tourists today
Forgive me indulging my need to keep speaking
I just feel that somehow someone ought to say
We've dug up the ruins, and buried the lovers
And angered the gods of the everyday
